ABOUT VRINDAVAN

Vrindavan has an ancient past, associated with Lord Krishna's childhood, and is therefore an important pilgrimage site. The essence of Vrindavan was lost over time until the 16th century, when it was rediscovered by Shri Chaitanya Mahaprahbu. In the year 1515, Mahaprabhu visited Vrindavan, with the purpose of locating the lost holy places associated with Lord Sri Krishna's transcendental pastimes. Shri Chaitanya wandered through the different sacred forests of Vrindavana in a spiritual trance of divine love. It was believed that by His divine spiritual power, He was able to locate all the important places of these pastimes in and around Vrindavan.
